INTRODUCTION
Over the years, comparative advertising has
become a popular tool among companies to
promote their products by comparing them to
a competitor’s products.
Honest and non-misleading comparisons are
fair play to advertise your products and give
them an edge over others.
However, when the comparison results in
defaming and disparaging the goods of the
competitors, it results in product
disparagement.
One such case of comparative advertising that is
currently in the limelight is Hindustan Unilever
Limited vs. Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing
Federation5 which is discussed in this
presentation.
